Family....

Here we are right after church! Don't think Christmas cards are being sent out this year...please accept my apologies! Too much is going on for me to even go have someone take our pictures...maybe i can do a happy new year card for everyone! I also have a new email address...so please email me so i can update my list...everything was lost when my computer crashed. My new email is hblonde78@gmail.com

Would love to hear from everyone and get updates! I am currently living back in my old house where i grew up! If you need that address please let me know! I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Girls...

Guess taking pics from cell phones and transferring them to email and then rotating them to make them appear on here actually work! Who needs a camera anymore?.... Just bought the girls new dresses finally!

CHANGE

These last couple of months have been the most difficult for me. A change has happened in my life that has affected alot of people. I just want to say a great big thank you to alot of friends who have given me their ear to hear me and a shoulder to cry on. I am holding strong and excited for what is to come in the future! I moved back into the mesa area and am happy to be back closer to family and friends! So please call or leave me a line so we can catch back up on life! Hope everyone is doing well..my computer crashed a couple months ago and so until i figure out how else to get pics on here these are going to be some pretty plain entries..

HELP!

Stephanie and Christian Nielson

Stephanie is the author of the blog, nieniedialogues.blogspot.com.
They are the parents of 4 young children. A couple weeks ago they were in a plane accident where they sustained severe burns over most of their bodies. They are in the hospital in critical condition and are expected to go through months and years of skin graft surgeries and rehabilitation.
The details of their accident can be found here. As of right now, their family is caring for their children during their long road to recovery, which you can read about here.

If you can, please help us bless this family in during this dark time. Most importantly, please remember them in your prayers.

I went 2 high school with Christian but didnt know him 2 well. I found this on a friends blog and thought i would get the word out.

ALL ABOUT THE GIRLS!

So better late than never! Here are Paige n Zoe on Easter! They both got to pick out what dress they wanted. And no I didnt tell Paige she HAD to get pink and I didnt tell Zoe she HAD to get lavender! :) I dont know maybe that is how it has been for the last 3 1/2 years of their life and that is all they know?? I am trying to buy them different colors. They just dont like any...

Ok so i felt bad only having the black dress when i took their pics last year so i did go onto ebay and thankgoodness i found the red matching one! :)

CALIFORNIA FUN!

Ok so im gunna be goin backwards for the next couple blogs...we went to california and stayed with our good friends the Curtis' back in March. While we were there we went to California Adventure, whale watching trip, Disneyland, and the beach (kinda). This is in their backyard overlooking the Trump Golf Course! Absolutely beautiful!

Somewhere along the coast! Loved the lighthouse in the background!

Holden and Cade wanted to go swimming so bad...the only thing holding them back was the FREEZING COLD water! I told them whoever jumped in first got $5.....


Cade WON!

This was inside california adventure! We went on this rollercoaster alot!

Yahooo we found goofy! :)

This was our whale watching trip! Cade wanted to jump overboard so bad so I thought I would help him out!

I love random pics that kids dont know when u r taking them!

This is pretty much all we saw on our WHALE trip!

Here is Cade, Kay Curtis, Holden at the start of the trip!

This is one of my favorite pics of the boys!

In line at Disneyland!

First time at the beach that he remembers! We weren't really gunna get in the water...but once we got there they boys begged to get in....

4th of July!

My mom's side of the family got together up in Heber City, Utah over the weekend! I saw cousins that I haven't seen in quite a long time! We also went up to Park City and did the alpine slides! Here is a pic of my youngest brother Sean and my uncle Kendell from Texas. I did take my camera, but forgot the memory card at home. So I am waiting for my mom to email me some and then I can post more!
